The Spanish rivals were both in action in Europe earlier this week but will both have their sights set on La Liga, despite neither side unlikely to lift the trophy this year.

Atletico are nine points behind runaway leaders Barcelona, with Zinedine Zidane's side a further four points back.

Los Blancos will be keen to continue their fine form after their 3-0 win against Juventus and no doubt, all eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo following his legendary bicycle-kick on Wednesday which helped Real Madrid plant their foot firmly in the Champion Leagues semi-finals.

Early team news

Zinedine Zidane will have some decisions to make in terms of which players he selects for this huge clash. However, they are all safe in terms of injury this weekend, with no new in injuries or suspension concerns ahead of the clash. But defender Nacho will remain sidelined.

For the visitors, French forward Antoine Griezmann was suspended last week but will be free to return for this derby. José Giménez and Juanfran are still in doubt but Filipe Luís is definitely ruled out for this one.
